Rim questions...thinking about buying aftermarket wheels for my 07tls

got acouple questions

in the market to buy aftermarket/bigger wheels for my 07tls

1. whats the biggest rim that will fit on my car?
20x9 i read i believe?

Also biggest tire size that will fit as far as width?

2. will anything bigger fit if used wheel spacers? or other options such as ______ ?

3. what do i do about tpms sensors? alot of sits offer tire n rim deals and i guess include valve stems?. so can u just not use your tpms? or can u take them outa your stock wheels and put them in aftermarket wheels?

thanks in advance

You want to go from a 17x8 to a 20x9? A bit drastic don't you think? How about a set of 18s or 19s and lower the car?

I don't think you understand what wheels spacers are. Getting a set doesn't mean you can get bigger wheels, it means that the wheels will be more flush with the fender.

When you get wheels, you should be able to transfer your TPMS sensors from your stock wheels, but don't quote me on that.

+1, seems like you need to do some more research before doing anything. And I think you just want to get the biggest set of wheels and call it a day. This attitude will make your car look like shit

I ran 20 x 8.5, +40 offset, for about a year and I had no issues other than hella wheel gap. BUT if you are planning to be on 20s and lower your car, the rear fenders are going to have to be rolled.

If you're rubbing, spacers are only going to make it worse.

Hence the reason, why members asked the OP to do more research.
